Understood as a self-critical discipline, philosophy must interrogate its limits and its relationship with its outside. The topic of philosophy's others – both the others within and those without – raises the question of the discipline's self-conception. To ask: "What is philosophy?" is to inquire into how philosophy determines its own center and multiplies its margins. In seeking to render explicit and to interrogate the validity of its own tacit assumptions, philosophy needs to account for and criticize how it relates to other disciplines and to whom it allows access to its space – not only discursively but also materially.
